More Confusion About Torture--At the New Republic

Marty Peretz's commenters rightly eviscerate this post. He's under the impression that we've only captured terrorists. Again, whether we've tortured anyone and how much and whether we'll do it again is largely irrelevant because we still haven't figured out a decent way of determining which detainees are innocent. Most of them were sold to us for ten thousand bucks in a part of the world where that's a ton of cash. To say that we want to give them access to American courts of law is an exaggeration. We just want to give them access to military hearings that aren't a sham and weren't designed by Donald Rumsfeld.
